A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
The Kawah Ijen volcano and crater lake is unequivocally one of the world’s most stunning natural phenomena. Observing it is an imperative experience when visiting Indonesia, particularly if you are already on Java or Bali.
Indonesia’s Kawah Ijen volcano, located near the eastern tip of Java island, is a relatively ordinary volcano by day. However, to discover its true marvel, you must visit just after midnight and hike up into the volcano’s crater. This challenging trek covers more than four miles and ascends to heights of nearly 10,000 feet, typically guided only by the moonlight, provided it’s visible.
Java, the most populated island of Indonesia, is renowned for its magnificent volcanic landscapes. Central and East Java are essential parts of your Indonesian itinerary.
